"Chad and his crew were absolutely amazing. From the first sales call, until the last nail of completion, I knew we could count on him. He had been referred, and we immediately felt comfortable with Chad, as he patiently explained the value in a significant undertaking - this roof will be there another 200 years, the quality is just that good! The work was on-time, professional, and the crew did a great job of cleaning up when they are done. We plan to use Metal Roofs Direct for other roofs when the time comes!"
"Review of Valley Exteriors, (Roofing Division) I was initially contacted by Simon Nielsen (Estimator - work no. 920-809-7600) and received an all inclusive, formal, and competitive quote. Simon was very professional and courteous. A crew of six workers showed up on time (Oscarâ s Crew) and immediately began hanging nets and tarps to protect the house and lawn. They proceeded to remove two layers of old roofing while loading the discarded shingles into a large trailer for disposal. The new roof install started with the install of new drip edge/gutter apron over a synthetic felt. This was followed by a universal starter strip, and an ice & water shield (2 rows) around the perimeter. The roof vents were removed and holes patched followed by an all new ridge vent installed across the top of the roof. The GAF HDZ Architectural shingles are a stunning look and I now have the most attractive roof in the neighborhood!!! Thanks to Oscarâ s Crew, Simon, Darlene, and Martin. I highly recommend Valley Exteriors Thanks, Dan (Home Owner)"
"Brothers did our roof after a hail storm. They were absolutely amazing to work with from selecting a shingle, insulation to the hr completed roof. Amazing service! Well priced! And honestly I recommend them to all of my friends and family. I could not be more impressed with a roofing company."
"FLASH roofing provided a free roofing inspection for us after the July hailstorm. They were prompt and professional, and they didn't pressure us at all. I found them to be very friendly and honest! They also provided a representative the day the insurance adjuster came which was really helpful to us being unfamiliar with how to handle a claim. I would definitely recommend FLASH to everyone in Wisconsin!"
"Bryan is very professional and cares about his customers!! He's an expert in the services he provides, and was very patient with answering all my questions. He puts a lot of pride in the quality of products he sells and the team he has completing the project. I will recommend Bryan and his team to anyone needing roofing services!!"

No, there’s no specific building code that requires a roof overhang. However, installing your roof with the standard 2-inch overhang is good practice, as it helps direct runoff away from your fascia boards and roof decking and into your gutters. Some overhang is especially important in areas that see heavy rainfall and snowfall, as the risk of water getting under the roofing material and causing water damage is much higher.
While you technically can add a roof over shakes or shingles, it’s not a good idea. Roofing over existing roofing creates a moisture barrier underneath the new roof and since the trapped material is wood, you can expect a moisture problem. While you could get away with installing a new roof over asphalt or steel, wooden roofs should be removed, new underlayment installed, and the new roof installed over that. Also, the extra weight would add strain to your roof structure.
After you've chosen the best roofer for you, schedule an inspection and review the final contract. Your roofing company should be able to provide options for scheduling the work and a potential timeline for obtaining the permits and starting the job. Remember to always request everything in writing before work begins.
A square of shingles covers 100 square feet and usually ranges from 150 to 240 pounds. It all depends on the material and type of shingle.
Asphalt shingles have varying thicknesses across the length, so failing to stagger shingles from one row to the next will leave you with bulges and bumps if the thicker sections stack on top of each other. Not only is this unappealing, but it increases the risk of water intrusion. Stagger each new row by 6 inches to avoid this issue.
